Things have changed at Brisket House over the last few years, so here's a new review... I stopped in last week and ordered a sausage sandwich. Their sausage used to be decent. It's more Eckrich-like today. It used to be in a Czech/German Texas hill country style. Not anymore. It's hot garbage. Pass on the sausage. Let's try again today. This time I ordered the brisket and pork ribs. They used to be famous for their beef ribs. They don't serve them anymore. It's a shame. You can't fault them on this. They probably had trouble sourcing the beef ribs for a price that wasn't outrageous. It's a tough business. So, I order a 1/2 lbs of pork ribs and a 1/4 lbs of brisket. The brisket was out of this world amazing! Of course, they're named "The Brisket House". Pork ribs were perfect. Sauce very good as well. The girl at the counter was rude and obnoxious. They used to have nice people working there. It's hard to find good help these days.

I have been wanting to try this place out after hearing so many good things about it. I loved it! Loved the smokiness of the moist ribs, delicious tangy bbq sauce, creamy loaded mashed potatoes and green beans. Service was friendly. The casual atmosphere is perfect for getting messy from eating ribs!

The TBH (The Brisket House) platter was very good, brisket, sausage and ribs with three sides...we chose pinto beans, cole slaw and corn bread, all 5 stars. My wife had a craving for a baked tater which was barely warm and not fully cooked, minus a star, she should have taken it back and asked for a do over.

Food here is amazing for barbecue.The service is pretty quick.The music is very Texas friendly.You can come and eat here.They're about ten tables here. I\nRecommend the three meat plate

I was in town on business and this location came highly recommended to enjoy some good BBQ. When I walked into the restaurant, I noticed its industrial-style design, with a brick-layer counter and an open kitchen where you could watch the food being prepared. It's a casual place where you order at the counter, pay, and then find a seat at one of the ten or so tables inside. Both the preparation and dining areas appeared clean. To be honest, I expected to be hit with the delicious smell of BBQ smoke as soon as I walked in, but that wasn't the case. Still, I went up to the counter to place my order. Unfortunately, the young woman at the counter didn't seem too interested in helping me. There was no greeting, just a cold shrug when I said hello. Asking her questions about the menu felt like a chore, and I almost considered leaving. But since I had taken an Uber to get there, I decided to stay and ordered the three-meat plate combo with brisket, ribs, and sausage, along with baked beans and loaded mashed potatoes. A polite gentleman brought the food to my table within minutes, as everything was already prepared. As I started eating, I realized I was missing cornbread--a must-have with BBQ in my opinion. I hadn't seen it listed under the main menu, but after a closer look, I found it under desserts. Reluctantly, I approached the same grumpy server to ask about it and ended up ordering a slice. Thankfully, the other men behind the counter were much friendlier. The portions were generous for the price, especially with the sides included. The meats were fantastic--well-smoked, seasoned, and tender. The baked beans had a nice smoky flavor, and the mashed potatoes were creamy with the skin still on, though they could have used a bit more topping. The cornbread was a highlight--light and fluffy with a golden brown, slightly crispy crust. It had a good balance of sweet and savory, and the honey drizzled on top made it even better. They also have a variety of drinks, including beer, soda, Dr. Pepper fountain drinks, and iced tea. Although I didn't try the desserts, they offered options like banana pudding, pecan pie, and chocolate chip brownies. Now, I'm someone who values good customer service, and I believe it can make or break the dining experience. Unfortunately, my interaction with the staff left a bad taste in my mouth. While I was there, I noticed that the young lady at the counter treated other customers differently, based on their skin color, which made the whole experience uncomfortable. Despite the good food, I won't be returning. There have to be better, more welcoming places to enjoy BBQ. Order Cornbread - $1.50 Three meat plates with 2 sides - $24.90 Food - 4 Service - 2

Food was excellent and the staff was very friendly. I would recommend and I will be back if I'm ever in the area.

Chopped Brisket Sandwich 5 Stars
Leslie C.

My first time ordering and I was fairly impressed overall! Easy to order over the phone which was nice. My fav part was the banana pudding but the sandwich was by far the star. The green beans and mac & cheese we're just ok. The mac & cheese was a little bland in my opinion. But overall a really good meal, I would come back for sure and maybe order some different sides.

Chicken  and brisket

Food: Best Brisket ever tasted Moist great smoke the right amount The service is friendly Portions right for price

The Brisket House is definitely a must try when in Htown. The service was excellent and the BBQ was worth every bite... Yelpers this place is so amazing. Let me know what you think. So let it be written... So let it be EATEN.

A hidden gem of bbq in Tanglewood. Staff is super friendly and quick. The food is top level - like this BBQ Turkey Stuffed Baked Potato - enough for 2 meals.

Three meat plate: ribs, brisket, and chicken.

Getting seated was a little chaotic. Indoor seating was pretty limited and not managed well. We end up sitting on the patio (still pretty toasty around sunset time). The giant pretzel we ordered for appetizer was excellent, highlight of the meal. The sourdough pizzas were pretty thin, overall I'd give the pizzas a 3/5. Of the 4 pizzas we tried, my personal ranking: 1. Spicy Goat 2. Duck Duck Shroom 3. Heirloom Margherita 4. Sweet & Spicy Pepperoni. Service was also disorganized and a little slow. I'd come back if I'm craving that pretzel.

Then she looked at me -- pescatarian, hungry -- and said, "Add the shrimp and get the crab sauce on top." Best decision I made all day. The plate didn't stand a chance. I would've taken an "after" photo, but I cleaned my plate. The staff were also super helpful with parking validation and making sure we were set.

We got a fish sandwich and a fish plate. With Mac and cheese and fried okra. The sandwich was probably the best fish sandwich in houston. The fish is so good!! Fried well and seasoned well. The Mac and cheese was very flavorful and creamy. The service was wonderful. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It's not a very large place so there's not many seats if they are busy. We came on a Sunday so it was pretty full with the after church crowd. But we were still severed timely. You can order yourself at the kiosk or with the server. You absolutely NEED to come here and try this food.

Downstairs has warmer lights and a kinda delicate feel. Anyhow, Let me just cut straight to it. Honestly I expected more from the food, they were just meh. The chicken wings could do with some flavor and its presentation needs fixing, maybe cut them. The wings were also dry and we had to ask for ketchup so maybe add some of the syrup to it or offer gravy. We enjoyed the oxtail omelet even though a few of my party thought it needed a little salt to boost it. The fried green tomatoes could have a dipping sauce but the famous chilli biscuits were well received. The country Benedict is a fried boil egg.

There's also parking in the back of the restaurant, or you can street park. A great place to stop to eat if you're in the Museum district, but make sure to make reservations, since there's a bit of a wait otherwise. We tried the chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, hot chilli biscuits, oxtail omelette, jalapeño poppers, fried green tomato, croissant French toast, Mac n cheese and chicken fried steak. Of them all, I really liked the hot chilli biscuits, oxtail omelette, french toast and fried green tomatoes. The hot chilli biscuits were sized more like mini pancakes. The croissant French toast was delicious and sweet enough to eat without syrup, which is how I had it. I would get the oxtail omelette or the croissant French toast myself, if I come back. For drinks we tried the Moscow mule and peach mimosas. The peach mimosa was a little medicinal tasting, so I'd recommend the original mimosa.

But, I do have some things I want to say. First, there is absolutely no signage or anything that explains what the items are, or even the basic whether you seat your self or not. It's kinda cafeteria style, you pick up a tray and silverware and then give them your choices. I did get it explained to me after standing at the counter looking like an idiot for a few minutes. I kind of fell in behind a couple of guys that came in right after me, I let them go because I had no idea. Second, there is nothing to tell you how much things cost. Protein Choices were smothered pork chops, meatloaf, chicken, turkey wings, fish and... wait for it.. oxtails. Now I know some of you are thinking HARD PASS on oxtails, but believe me, these are a rarity to find on a menu, I would say because of the cost, but also because they aren't quick to prepare. If you are offering oxtails on your menu, you have to have plenty on hand and be confident in your dish. Micheaux's hits the mark. Third, and this is very important, the food PLENTIFUL, and I do mean truly two people could probably eat what I got served. personally, I LOVE oxtails, but because nobody else in my house would even consider eating these, (they are not with me) and because they are super expensive in the store, I rarely make it for just myself. So of course I ordered the oxtails., it's served with rice, and two additional sides and cornbread. I ordered greens and green beans. It was pricey , like 37.00 before the tip, and as I was paying I was cursing myself for spending so much for lunch but..It's so delicious! I do think that the prices should be posted somewhere because ( and this is why it's getting 4 of 5 stars) I never would have ordered this knowing I would not be able to take it with me to reheat for later. I wish this wasn't an impulse stop while I was driving somewhere else . I don't know how the guys that were ahead of me put it all away in record time. They left before I started the review. I stopped eating to do the review because I want to eat more before I leave this area of town. I don't think this will travel well, especially if I can't reheat it. OMG, the man next to me just ate all of his food and just ordered a piece of chocolate cake that is making my mouth water. How am I supposed to finish what is in front of me and think about the cake too? I also want to mention that I erroneously picked up a salt shaker before I started to eat... Not needed, nothing needed salt at all, everything was perfectly seasoned. Well, I am calling it, I will take the rest with me and figure something out. Maybe one day I will be in the area again.
